One gallon of regular water is 128 oz. So I would think Sea water is denser. My thought /Guess is 7.2 Oz. Of sea salt per gallon. This is just A guess. I really have NO true idea!! Thanks for these Stumpers they keep us Guessing.

the 128 oz is fluid ounces...its a liquid measurement like gallons. There is an ounce that is a weight measurement like pounds.james dilley said:
Mitch didnt state witch ounce he is talking about.
His question can not be answered the way he asked it.

well dont you know that Aspies are generally known for the amount of 'useless' information they contain!!!n I had a coworker that would spout off irrelevant and useless information like "did you know that the white house has xxxx number of silverware settings" or "Sharks have xxxx number of teeth"
as for the stumper I was going to say 3 but since that has already been said, I will say 12 ounces

3 cups? 
You said guess, I am guessing.
You said guess, I am guessing.In that water is the universal pivot of all comparable fluid measurements, a fluid ounce of water is the same as a weight ounce. Other fluids densities vary therefore their nomenclature needs to be specified as to what system you are referring to. 50 fluid ounces is the same amount as 50 weight ounces but only in water.
The source of the question did not state if the ounces in the question was fluid or weight.

1/2 cup (4 oz or 8 TBSP) of salt should get you a salt/water mixture that approximates the specific density of seawater.

It depends on the composition of the sea water. The Dead Sea has a much higher salt content than the Pacific Ocean.
But my guess is 8 1/2 ounces.

Okay, so if 8 tbsp is 4 oz, then my 12 tbsp guess would be equal to 6 oz.
